I haven't had the PS3 for even 5 months. How long does the original warranty last? I'm sure as hell not paying $150 for a repair on a system I just bought and don't use much.

Should be a year so you should be good. Just call their tech support and get a box so you can get it repaired.

Will the repair last me awhile? I just don't want to look forward to having to repair it again in a year or two.

I really haven't heard about a large number of people having this issue. I wouldn't worry about it. My PS3 is 18 months old gets used a ton for movies and games and hasn't had any disc read problems. I don't think it is a widespread issue.

My PS3 was already set for PCM, so I guess I need to find another solution.

I'll be live-blogging commentary about the Sony conference on VGT's home page when it starts in an hour. There are numerous video feeds on the web and it's being carried on G4 for those near a TV.

I'm just glad Sony is going last so I can get the stink of the Nintendo conference off of me. The PSP already has the update for the movies and TV so I'm sure that will be announced.

I'm hoping Sony has some stuff to download after the conference, but we will probably have to wait for Thursday.

Think we'll get God of War 3 first or last?

My question is will Sony be announcing any good games for the PSP in this conference?

Jack Tretton just called out Jack Palance (yes, that guy) for being dead.

Nice start with Resistance 2. The Jack Palance thing was weird though.

Nah, just nothing of substance. Some Resistance 2 stuff. LBP level used to showcase the charts and graphs (kotaku said it was coming October, but I must've missed that announcement).

PS3 greatest hits.

PS2 showcase and talk now.

We're not interested in filling up our stores with titles no one wants to play just so we can say we have the most, Tretton says.

Supposed to be a stab at the 360 but sounds just like the PS2 plan.

Pretty underwhelming on-demand video service demo. New service is available tonight. Moving on to the PSP...
